. . . wonder woman . . .

. . . i'm referring to 
this little girl's mother . . .
. . . because just look 
at the kind of birthday party 
she threw for 
soon-to-be-ten-year-old addison . . .

. . . strawberry lemonade 
was the theme . . .
. . . including die-cut lemonade banner,
 color coordinated everything, 
homemade pink lemonade cupcakes, 
fresh fruit, 
apothecary candy jars, 
and a matching swimsuit . . .

. . . addi will turn a whole decade old 
at the end of june . . .


. . . but this year, 
she blew out her birthday candle 
a month early . . .
. . . because her family 
is relocating to california 
until the end of summer . . .
. . . where amber 
and the kids will play 
and chris 
will be working his tail off . . . 
. . . thankful for a summer job . . .


. . . when the kids found out 
they'd be gone 
for almost three months, 
three of them 
~ those with summer birthdays ~
 were quite upset . . .
. . . what about our birthday parties,
 mom????? . . .
. . . and so, nice mom that she is . . .
. . . hosted parties 
for all three birthday kids 
on memorial day . . .
. . . the day before they move . . .

. . . yeah, like i said . . .
. . . wonder woman . . .

It's wonderful that family traditions mean so much to them. And how pretty of a food display, accompanied by such a beautiful young girl!

It was so fun planning this party with her! The excitement in her eyes made it all worth it.
